An All-In Primer: Demographic Change and the Economic Imperative of Equity
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
12 p.m. – 1 p.m. Eastern (9 a.m. – 10 a.m. Pacific)

America is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, but what does this mean for our economic future? What challenges and opportunities lie ahead in building a competitive workforce? And what policies should we pursue to build an economy that works for everyone, not just a select few?

A new webinar series drawing from All-In Nation: An America that Works for All will begin to answer these questions.

Featured Speakers:

• Manuel Pastor, Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity, and Director of the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE), University of Southern California
• Nicole Smith, Research Professor and Senior Economist, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce
• Sarah Treuhaft, Deputy Director, PolicyLink
• Vanessa Cárdenas, Vice President of Progress 2050, Center for American Progress (moderator)
